OVERVIEW

This repository contains rejmerge, a package management utility that helps to merge files that were rejected during package upgrades.

This rejmerge distribution is a fork of CRUX' rejmerge utility (which is part of CRUX' pkgutils distribution) as of commit 9ca0da6 (Sat Nov 17 2018) with the following differences:

• POSIX sh(1p) instead of bash
• suckless' sbase support
• manual pages in scdoc(5) format
• split rejmerge(8) manual page into rejmerge(8) & rejmerge.conf(5)
• GNU-style options/help/usage
• new -c/--config option to specify an alternate config file
• new -n/--dry-run option to print the diffs without any action
• bash completion

See git log for complete/further differences.

The original sources can be downloaded from:
